Figure 2
(a) Plot of the s-cis conformer of astaxanthin diacetate [s-cis-(1)] using 50% probability ellipsoids; only the higher-occupancy disordered component is shown and solvent molecules are omitted for clarity. (b) Plot of the s-trans conformer of astaxanthin diacetate [s-trans-(1)] using 50% probability ellipsoids; only the higher-occupancy disordered component is shown. (c) Plot of (3S,3′S)-7,8-didehydroastaxanthin (2) using 50% probability ellipsoids; only the higher-occupancy disordered component is shown. Hydrogen bonds are shown with dashed lines. (d) Plot of (3S,3′S)-7,8,7′,8′-tetradehydroastaxanthin (3) using 50% probability ellipsoids. Hydrogen bonds are shown with dashed lines.
